Infrared (IR) heaters are used in many industries where heat treatment is required as well as in household appliances. One of the main problems with this type of equipment is non-uniform temperature field in the heating area, which results in a different degree of heating of the heated objects. In order to achieve greater uniformity of the temperature, some approaches are explored in practice, such as using embossed reflectors, mounting two or more heaters side-by-side, using emitter lamps with power controller devices, formation of gold or silver coatings, etc. The drawbacks of these approaches are complicating the design of the IR heaters, reducing the dimensions of heating area, increasing energy consumption, etc. Among the above-mentioned methods, the creation of a specific reflector surface topography is easily attainable and inexpensive technological approach. The main task of the present study is to investigate experimentally the influence of the specific patterns, obtained by ball burnishing process on scattering ability of the aluminium reflectors from infrared quartz heater.
